<p>Your ACT scores are great and your ec’s are good (especially the tennis state champion), but your GPA and sat IIs will definitely hurt you a lot. Here are my guesses</p>

<p>notre Dame: in
USC: in
UC Berkeley: no
UCLA: in
Rice: no
Duke: no
Michigan (In-state): yes
Amherst: no
Oberlin: yes
UChicago: no
Northwestern: yes
Penn State: yes
Kalamazoo College: yes</p>

<p>Good Luck</p>

<p>I should also say I only sent my sat II to the uc schools that required it. No one else will see them</p>

4

<p>Are you planning on playing collegiate tennis and did you have coach contact at any of these schools? Are there any you applied to without visiting?</p>

5

<p>I would be able to play tennis at chicago amherst kalamazoo and oberlin. I’ve only been talking to the kalamazoo coach though. But it’s not too late to talk to others.</p>

6

<p>you have a really good shot at most of those schools. it will really just depend on if the admissions faculty sees something really special in you that makes you unique. and about what tennuggler said…" your GPA and sat IIs will definitely hurt you a lot." haha that is not true!</p>

7

<p>Don’t listen to tennugler.
Your stats are great. I got into Uchicago (which is one of the more competitive on your list) with a 3.73 GPA and a similar ACT score. You’ll do fine. You have a chance at all of the schools. “No” is not a correct chance. </p>

<p>Also, how did you get a 5 on AP Calc and only a 600 on SAT math II?</p>

8

<p>Haha I’m guessing that I got off on the questions I was answering near the end, like I accidentally skipped a line on the answer sheet. But like I said, the uc schools will be the only ones that see those. Rice is my top choice and they don’t require them.</p>

9

<p>…bumppp…</p>

10

<p>last bumppp</p>

11

<p>Got into U of M engineering today!</p>

12

<p>last little bump…anyone have any input?</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>^I would disagree with an assessment that predicts you are “in” at Northwestern but not at Rice, UC Berkeley, Amherst, U Chicago, or Duke.</p>

<p>IMO, you are a high match, match, or safety at all the schools except U Chicago, Duke and Northwesten which i would consider low reaches. (reading furthur to notice you may have not submited your SAT II’s which may improve your chances to high matches for these three as well).</p>

<p>I will be very interested to see what the decisions are, so please update when you get news.</p>

14

<p>Rejected from UCLA. Not that surprising because of my SAT IIs and the fact that they ignore freshman year.</p>

15

<p>the main problem is the downward trend (or arc trend) of your GPA. Colleges won’t like that your GPA was higher your freshman year than any of your other years.</p>

<p>I would put none of them (except michigan cuz your instate) as saftey schools. Most of them seem like high matches, though your ACT helps you a ton.I don’t think you will get into UChicago, Duke, Amherst, or Berkley, but theres a chance if your essay is super good.</p>

<p>Good luck :D</p>

16

<p>Well it did dip after freshman year, but it improved every year after, even though I took much harder classes. Is that really a downward trend?</p>

17

<p>U Chicago: Low Reach
Duke: Low Reach
Northwestern: Low Reach</p>

<p>I agree that the rest are matches/high matches. Good luck :)</p>

18

<p>I got rejected from UChicago, and got into K College with a four-year, $64,000 scholarship</p>

19

<p>waitlisted at Rice. This is starting to get depressing, I’m not getting into any of the competitive schools I applied to…</p>

20

<p>I think Duke and UC Berkeley are probably just outside your reasonable reach schools, considering your rejection from UCLA and UChicago. But everywhere else seems pretty good, although seeing how well you did on your acts makes me wonder why you never took the sat, just for additional re-enforcement.
